         		 Banana split with grated chese : by beckandphil, Views[334]
         		 Another rabon shark caught, the photo does not do it justice. The color of the rabon is beautiful, grayish with a hint of blue.: by pmok, Views[273]
     
    A
         		 A boat with several rays, one very large one and several smaller ones. Really don't know why they're targeted, for the meat? don't think these rays have the gill rackers in manta rays that are prized (by the Chinese, again). : by pmok, Views[229]
         		 Amidst the frenzy of the fish market, a dog sleeps. There are numerous stray dogs in Puerto Lopez, some in better conditions than others. This one is better for sure.: by pmok, Views[215]
         		 Not sure what kind of fish this is, but as soon as it was cut, the meat is salted to be cured.: by pmok, Views[242]
         		 Several rays were cut inside the boat, here is the aftermath: blood and unwanted body parts.: by pmok, Views[277]
     
    Interesting to see up close the inside of a fish: by pmok, Views[676]
         		 Didn't see the body but here are the fins of a punta negra, or black tip shark.: by pmok, Views[266]
         		 All the restaurants at the fish market are
         		 Those dozens of large fish, cleaned and cut, loaded into the ice truck ready to be transported.: by pmok, Views[186]
         		 Found a very small Vieja shark being butchered, no more than 80 cm, practically a baby!: by pmok, Views[211]
     
    Señor sushi at it again, this time with a large Rabon shark.: by pmok, Views[217]
         		 One morning, a boat had dozens of this fish, all equally large. When weighed, some of them were as much as 70 lbs each! : by pmok, Views[166]
         		 A boy cleaning the fish that has the cartilaginous organ prized by the Chinese to make soup. As many as hundreds of this fish are caught per day.: by pmok, Views[205]
         		 A pick-up game of barefoot football on the beach in the afternoon: by pmok, Views[313]
         		 These boys were not old enough to participate in the pick-up game so they played on their own. One of them was quite good already, showing off his kicks.: by pmok, Views[310]
     
    There was a 2-day fisherman's festival end of July. On the first day, all the boats were decorated and there was a regatta, where anyone could board the boats; they sailed from Puerto Lopez to Manchalilla, a nearby fishing port, and back. In the evening was a beauty pageant followed by a major fiesta of music and dancing. All the fishermen were so drunk, no boats went out for three days!: by pmok, Views[435]
         		 The whales we encountered on the way to my first dive: by pmok, Views[1022]
         		 Here's the enchanting moment when we were on Playita and saw whales out in the ocean. Three boats were following them, and one playful whale kept waving its tail up and down on the surface, what a sight!: by pmok, Views[259]
         		 Look at this photo and the one before consecutively, and you'll notice the stingray is breathing. The area in between the eyes where the gill rackers reside were going up and down.: by pmok, Views[274]
         		 Look at this photo and the one after consecutively, and you'll notice the stingray is breathing. The area in between the eyes where the gill rackers reside were going up and down.: by pmok, Views[276]
     
    The
         		 Here's the giant stingray still alive on the beach. A kid was checking it out as it desperately tried to breath.: by pmok, Views[1532]
         		 A huge el dorado at the fish market one morning, the mother wanted the kid to pose next to it but he was scared, so she got into the photo also. funny how parents make kids do stuff like that!: by pmok, Views[280]
         		 don't know what this fish is but it's so large, it's bigger than the tire on that truck!: by pmok, Views[228]
         		 A pile of hammerhead sharks were hidden under the butcher table and behind a crate. Sneaky bastards.: by pmok, Views[285]
     
    Cebiche for lunch, had it with a tomato, onion, and green bell pepper salsa and bought fried plantains. Refreshing! : by pmok, Views[258]
         		 The parts of the fish not fit for cebiche, roasted on the bbq simply with lime juice, garlic, basil, s/p.: by pmok, Views[254]
         		 Ended the cebiche lunch with an apple and banana crumble. Lunch is the biggest meal of the day in Ecuador, we don't do this everyday but was great when we did!: by pmok, Views[254]
         		 Giulia (Italy) and Sofia (Portugal), two volunteers here, posing with Monchi and Acorn.: by pmok, Views[316]
         		 We bought an el dorado to make cebiche for lunch one day. The parts of the fish not cut for cebiche would be roasted on the BBQ. : by pmok, Views[291]
     
    Fish curing in lime juice, doesn't look that appetizing right now but just wait!: by pmok, Views[247]
         		 Lots of tunas caught lately, these few alone weighed over 100 lbs. I am torn on the tuna debate; it is a delicious fish but it is being over-fished. Why waste tuna by canning it? eat it raw, seared, or cooked, no canning though!: by pmok, Views[284]
         		 A butcher cuts and cleans a tuna, the red flesh looks so delicious, give me some wasabi now!: by pmok, Views[248]
         		 One more food vendor at the fish market, he sells bread and a hot drink that's white (in the pot), which he keeps hot over burning coal.: by pmok, Views[311]
         		 One of many food vendors at the fish market, he has an oven hooked to a propane tank, so the bread stays warm. hope to try one!: by pmok, Views[268]
     
    Another food vendor at fish market, he sells different kinds of freshly cooked carne with a selection of buns to choose from, then makes the slaw there to accompany the meat and bread. want to try one too!: by pmok, Views[259]
         		 A dog near the restaurants at the fish market, thought it looked rather sad. I'd be too if I had to wear that ugly outfit!: by pmok, Views[264]
         		 Another food vendor at the fish market, this one sells quail eggs. I would have one except it's insanely high in cholesterol, rather spend the quota on squid.: by pmok, Views[305]
         		 Shrimps and squids vendor, not many at the market.: by pmok, Views[270]
         		 When not fishing, fishermen work on their nets, mending and maintaining. Fishing is no easy career.: by pmok, Views[232]

    Hawk There were some song birds around so I took my camera out to get some pictures and this hawk flew in and stayed for 5 to 10 seconds and was gone. It certainly pays to be ready.: by wooley5, Views[319]
